by My invention n lat s to cont in r and ;fers particularly tocontainers suipable for powders .to be applied by means o powderinfie- 1One of the esseutial slements of a practical 'l'ace powder container isthat of size, for it is rident that a container of ,this character mustbe as small as is possible consistent with the uses to which itisapplied.

Notwithstanding that it is generally admitted that loose faee po wdel ismore e cient and Vfili l han po vtlertompaqt ,t e la titer have largelyrepl aced the former because out the difiicultios and inconveniences in-1.7 trident to the useof lo se PQW Q as 3 9 pared with compacts.

The chief difliculties presentin themselves imthe production of a loosepow er container flFfltbQSe incident to devising one which will 119 beof minim m fiifl d lnch {will reyan the sifting or spilling ofthe powdercl, ring use, such sifting being hig disa vnntargeous as it is ,liablmrttlii rli lre the gown ,of

My in ention overqo ue hes objec o able (features and presents .a loosepowder container which is ,smull in sizean which will allow of theme andapplication of the container powder without danger of itssift-.ingduring Ithe ef. l;,l'iiit g"te .oif the coptainer or of itsbeingsp'qlled ,during its a phcation.

The above tescrihed and otier, Valuable features of my device will beevidentnpon a uwn i l'ation of this specif cation and it aempa yine winln the accompanying drawings illustrating one ,form of the device of myinvention similar parts are designated by similar numerals.

Iiligure 1 is a top plan View qfone form of 1 the device of myinvention.

Figure 2 is an edge View of Figurel.

Figure 3 a plan view of the device of Figure 11. in open position,partly broken away for purposes of explanation.

Figure 4 is an enlarged cross-section through the line 4--4 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a top View of one of the upper members of Figure 4.

Figure (3 a top View of the ring-shaped supporting member of Figure 4.

liigure 7 .is a: top View of the bottom member of Figure 4.

The particular form of the device of my invention shown in theaccompanying drawings comprises an annular bottom 10 the 11 and thenupwardly 12.

Positioned within the bottom member is a ring-shaped supportin member13',theouter edge of which is turned downwardly 1 1 and then outwardly15, the ring member being agflixed to the bottom member by' solder, orotherwise. The inner edge of the ring member is turned downwardly andinwardly forming the shoulder 16 and then down wardl 1.

Pos tioned within the ring member is a grid member 18 having a pluralityof open ings 19, 19 therein. The outer edge of the grid member 18 isturned downwardly and inwardly, thus forming an invertedshoulder 20, andthen downwardly 21. The members 21 and 17 are aflixed together bysolder, or

edge of which is turned inwardly upon itself otherwise.

It will thus be seen that the bottom, the rim supporting member and'thegrid are attached to eachother to form a bottom member, or container.Positioned above the con-- tainer, and revoluble thereon is an annularmember 22 WhlCll lsturned inwardly 23, then downwardly and theninwardly, forming the shoulder 24, the two shouldersQO and 'lfi'thus actas guides and retalnmg means for the member 22 during its revolution.

A cover, or lid, 25 is hingedly attached to the member 22 at 26.Hingedly attached to the cover 25 at27 is a catch 28, capable of closingattachment with the lip 29 carried by the member 22.

An annular bezel 30 retains'the mirror 31 within the cover 25.

Powder 32 is placed within the bofl'mn receptacle 33 auda powder-pull234: is placed upon the grid 18. i

The operation; of the device as fol. lows :The device in closedposition, as shown in Figure 4, is inverted :in order that the powder 32may fall against the grid 18 and thus be impinged upon the (putt 34;

31, and as the puli revolves with respect to the grid, only a smallportion of the powder will be distributed evenly over the pod sur-:tace. It will be further noted that as the grid is in pressure abutmentagainst the putt, the powder will be forced into the putt sut fleien'tlyto prevent it from dropping therefrom when the putt is removed from thedevice preparatory to application to the face. The device is thenreversed to upright position, the catch 28 released and the lid, orcover, 25 opened, thus exposing the pull i'i-l.

It will thus be seen, that my invention comprises a powder container inwhich the powder may be distributed upon-a powder putt, by therevolution oi the device elements, the putt acting as a preventative forthe escape of excess powder therefrom.

I do not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number orarrangement of parts as shown and described as these are given simply asa means for clearly describing my invention.

What I claim is 1. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottompowder receptacle, a grid top attached tosaid receptacle, an uppermember spaced from the grid and revoluble thereabove and a hinged covercarried by the revoluble member.

2. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powderreceptacle, a grid top attached to said receptacle, an upper memberspaced from the grid and revoluble thereabove, a hinged cover carried bythe revoluble member and means whereby the closing of the cover willcause compressed abutment between the bottom grid and a powder puflplaced thereon.

3. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powderreceptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extendedflange carried by, and revoluble upon, the bottom member, and a coverfor the compartment formed by the flange.

4. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powderreceptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extendedflange carried by and revoluble upon the bottom member, a cover for thecompartment formed by the flange and downwardly extended means carriedby the cover and within the flange when the cover is closed.

5. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powderreceptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extendedflange carried by and revoluble upon the bottom member, a cover for thecompartment formed by the flange, downwardly extended means carried bythe cover and within the flange when the cover is closed and means forlocking the cover in closed position without preventing the revolutionof the revoluble member and the bottom member.

6. In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powderreceptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extendedflange carried by and revoluble upon the bottom member, a cover for thecompartment formed by the flange forming a pufl' receptacle between thecover and the grid and means carried by the cover and the flange forlocking the cover in closed position.

7 In a loose powder container, in combination, a bottom powderreceptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extendedflange carried by and revoluble upon the bottom member, a cover formingin pulf receptacle with the flange and the grid, a downwardly extendedperipheral member carried by the cover and within the flange when thecover is closed and means carried by the cover and the flange forlocking the cover in closed position.

8. In a loose powder container, in combi nation, a bottom powderreceptacle, a grid top to said receptacle, an annular upwardly extendedflange carried by and revoluble upon the bottom member, a cover forminga puff receptacle with the flange and the grid, a downwardly extendedperipheral member carried by the cover and within the tlangr when thecover is closed, means carried by the cover. and the flange for lockingthe cover in closed position andv a mirror carried upon the inner :faceof the cover.
